So, with each new game raises the pressure for TfB and VV to "get it right" on the skylanders being registered. Early reports on the Wii U version is you can use them but not all of them are registering. Use this topic to discuss how the registration is working for your version of the game. Nothing quite kills the need to "get them all" between having to buy starter packs and seeing this lack of detail. I'd argue this is on purpose...would love to see their feedback on this.

Gotta check if you actually need to change the ownership as well, I had some new figures that still wouldn't register until I took them off,put them again,and changed ownership in TT.

But this sounds like a glitch,3 out of 7 is too few for a memory issue.

what do you mean "you can use them but not all are registering?

Great reminder....that killed me often in Giants when I wasn't receiving the proper percentage for Elemental Power.

Yeah, the mini should've registered for sure. Would hate to see another case of "corrupt" save files.

In the facebook post he said he could use all 7 versions of Spyro but only three registered.

You can use unregistered skylanders,they just show up as Guest Skylanders(someone should ask him if the game asked if he wants to see nicknames as usual if he gives them one). You don't get the place in the collection or the elemental boost,but they work.

Yep I know that...I was just saying your comment was a good reminder to people. I've seen inconsistencies on the registration front from time to time.

Lets look on the bright side, they can patch bugs now

Pretty sure they would have been able to do it before as well.
They just didn't want to... Somehow.

THIS
There is no reason to believe they will patch the game until they say so

"Can" vs "Will". We'll see.

Well, how many Skylanders are there now? Over a hundred, that's for sure - and from only four games. Probably should have expected something like this to happen...

They sure got it right during the marketing phase. Devil is in the details. They need real fans to check stuff like this.

Apparently you just need to switch off and on your console for them to register correctly.
But seriously... Did they forgot what this series is about...?

I want to play with my potentially full collection because I invested time and money in them and would sincerely like to be able to use them at their best (that includes registering them in the Collection screen).

Once that is fixed you can proceed to get the rest done.

But after all the game isn't even officially out until tomorrow so we might at least expect Day One patch to fix those problems.

Did he try using the Ownership option to add them to the collection?

No, they basically couldn't without being unfair to the consumer. The idea behind Skylanders is that it is universally the same across all platforms, and because all of the previous versions were released on Wii, and Wii games were not updateable, if you patched things on 360 and PS3, but not on Wii,the game would cease to be equal among all platforms. Now that the Wii version is a different game, all console versions of the actual game are patchable, and therefore will remain equal. The existence of the Wii version was always the reason none of the others got patched.

I wouldn't be surprised if they capped the number old figures that will register as different figures. There's not much point in listing 10 different spyros including relatively pointless old variants that no ones gonna buy anymore except for purely collection purposes.

S1 spyro , s1 dark spyro, legendary spyro, s2 spyro, s3 spyro, s3 dark spyro, Spry and eons elite.

Really the only important thing is differentiating between functionally different characters ( different series' that have different wow POWs , minis and eons elites).

so there is bugs already???, this sure dont look promising.. i dont find it acceptable to release a game that is so expensive as the skylanders game is, in a unfinished state. i expect it to be finished and they not use the customers as game testers after release. we had enough of trap team bugs last year, so i hope this is not true. and they just didnt have the ownership of the figurines...

yeah, we've experienced and talked about this bug already, the collection entry bug. the game recognizes the figures for play, but not for unlocking in the collection menu.
our solution that has worked with the 2 light figures have been restartingthe Wii U, after that, the 2 light figures unlocked in the collection menu. will try the 4 out of 7 Spyro figures that didnt unlock last night.

okay keep us up to date about the bugs and solutions portalmaster....

I don't even get Day 1 patches - Like, how are they even supposed to work?

TT had it in some versions last year; or at least iirc people reported getting an update even if they got the game super early.

Update on the Spyro figures in SuperChargers, upon restarting the Wii U console and placing the Spyro figures on the portal, they unlocked in the Collection menu. Eight out of nine figures unlocked, with the only exception, SSA Chrome Spyro, which I don’t believe ever unlocked as Rare or Special since it was a SSA figure. So there’s some good news, here’s the breakdown:

SSA Spyro, Series 1, in Collection menu.
SSA Dark Spyro, in Collection menu.
SSA Legendary Spyro, in Collection menu.
SSA Chrome Spyro, NOT in Collection menu. (but I don’t believe he ever showed up as special or rare)
SG Spyro, in Collection menu.
SSF Spyro, Mega Ram, Series 3, in Collection menu.
SSF Dark Spyro, Mega Ram, Series 3, in Collection menu.
STT Spry, in Collection menu.
STT Eon’s Elite Spyro, in Collection menu.

Yeah, the Special tag didn't exist at the time of SSA yet. So it pretty much worked,yes, since he's an S1 Spyro.

Yeah, chrome Spyro is literally a Series 1 Spyro RFID wise, and that's always been the case.

So it appears there's some Wii U "squirrley" behavior. I'll keep this thread open in case people have this problem on the other platforms. I had a feeling VV would not let us down here--they were VERY STRONG in Swap Force on recognizing collections....and I'm glad they are continuing this trend.

Just remember to claim ownership. This still happens if you have someone from Swap Force go to Giants and Trap Team. Ownership gets conflicted sometimes.

I love the way the nextgen consoles do updates. You can play before it even finishes downloading, although sometimes features are limited. Last night I downloaded Tomb Raider on XB1 (free with Gold this month) and played a significant portion of the game before quitting. Then I noticed the game wasn't even 50% downloaded yet before I turned it off. I did the same with Mortal Kombat X a little while back and it disabled a few features like the Story mode before it finished (and then they turned back on). It makes those Day 1 patches and installation so much less frustrating.

Use the Ownership option, that's how you add toys to the collection. If you already claimed ownership of a toy in a previous game, it will not automatically add to the collection when simply putting it on the portal.
